About the I Love My Librarian Award

(The text is combined from two different pages.)
"The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award encourages library users to recognize the accomplishments of exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarians. We want to hear how you think your librarian is improving the lives of the people in your school, campus or community.

Nominations for the 2013 Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Awards are open through September 6.

10 librarians each will receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and $500 travel stipend to attend an awards reception in New York. In addition, a plaque will be given to each award winner's library.

Recognize the accomplishments of your exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarian."

Promotion Tools

Library staff could promote this on their library website, near the OPACs or circulation desks, via social media feeds, etc. The promotional section has sample copy for blogs, newsletters, and campus newspapers.

Nominees
For better or worse, I didn't see this requirement of nominees until I browsed the sample copy section of the promotion page.

"Each nominee must be a librarian with a master's degree from a program accredited by the ALA in library and information studies or a master's degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational unit accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Nominees must be currently working in the United States in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or at an accredited K-12 school."

FYI,
